Pinkney, born a Piscean in Manchester, Jamaica, moved to

his mother. He always had an innate love for music and, as a
teenager, taught himself to play the guitar. At age 18 he formed
“The Sharks,” who enjoyed instant success when, soon after its
formation, they landed a resident-band job in the Bahamas, at the
Lucayan Beach Hotel. Pinkney and “The Sharks” also took time out to
do recordings at the world famous Studio One in Kingston, backing
many Reggae greats including the legendary Bob Marley and the
Wailers, Ken Boothe, BB Seaton and the Gaylads, . Each of these
artists scored at least one, #1, record on the local charts and
Pinkney was a part of their success. The formation of the
internationally acclaimed band, “Zap-Pow” was another successful
move in the life of Dwight Pinkney. Pinkney also led the popular
“Roots Radics” band of the 80’s and 90’s. He fine-tuned his craft
when he attended the Jamaica School of Music where he studied with
gifted tutors such as Melba Liston, Peter Ashbourne and Marjorie
Whylie.and Camille Lewis
Pinkney's music has taken him to many renowned venues all
over the world that included New York's Madison Square Gardens ,
BBC’s 'Top Of The Pops', Las Vegas, Japan, Australia, South Africa,
Hawaii, Canada, South America, Central America, and Europe. He has
appeared in three full-length movies: “Smile Orange;” “Land of Look
Behind;” and “Holyland;” which was filmed on location in
Israel.
